In case you missed it, Time Magazine has named their Person of the Year, and the choice was obvious: Barack Obama<\/a>.\u00a0 Great call.\u00a0 He’s made some really fantastic Cabinet picks this past month.\u00a0 Looking forward to January 20 and beyond.<\/p>\n

Here’s a Commercial Appeal article about Frank’s Deli<\/a>, the new deli\/grocery store at Main and Vance.\u00a0 They have tricycle delivery within a 10-block radius, and are open until 10 PM Sunday-Thursday and midnight Friday-Saturday.\u00a0 Friendly folks in there and it’s good to have a new place to get groceries and a sandwich.<\/p>\n

I just stopped in the Saucer to find out what the Fire Sale is today – it’s Flying Dog Doggie Style, need to post that to Twitter in a minute – and while I was there, I learned that the Memphis Tigers sports radio team will do a live broadcast from there starting at 5 PM.\u00a0 Tigers play UALR at the FedExForum at 7.\u00a0 Also at 7 is the Saucer’s Christmas “buy the beer, keep the glass” sale.\u00a0 It’s a HOpe! HOpe! HOpe! Barack Obama glass.<\/p>\n

Picked up a copy of the Memphis Flyer while out on my walk.\u00a0 Let’s see what’s in there:<\/p>\n

p. 28:\u00a0 Bardog Tavern invites its customers to bring an ornament and help trim its tree Christmas Eve.\u00a0 It will open at 5 PM Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

p. 31:\u00a0 The Red Rooster has decided to start doing its “Girls Night Out” every Thursday, with chick flicks 8 to 11, $2 Miller 64, $2.50 UV Vodka drinks, no cover for ladies, and “qualify to spin the wheel of fashion,” whatever that means.<\/p>\n

p. 50:\u00a0 Interesting “Help Wanted” ad.\u00a0 A new Downtown deli is hiring for all positions, taking applications at the Blimpie on Stage Road in Bartlett.\u00a0 Is Downtown about to get a Blimpie?\u00a0 Mmmm good subs.<\/p>\n

p. 52:\u00a0 Couple of reasonably priced rental units in condo buildings.\u00a0 There’s a 1 BR in the Claridge House (Main at Adams) for $715\/month, and a studio loft in the Paperworks (Front at Huling) for $900\/month.\u00a0 Nice to see units being rented for under a grand in two of Downtown’s most desirable buildings.<\/p>\n

On a personal note, I’m celebrating a milestone today… yesterday was the first time that my websites altogether earned me more than $100 in commission income in a single day.\u00a0 Of course, this being the Christmas season it’s not reasonable (yet) to expect that to happen every day, but it’s a sign that things are continuing to move in the right direction.\u00a0 My newest site College Logo Cornhole<\/a> has turned into an immediate success, and Mid-South Alcoholic Supply<\/a> is also generating lots of sales.<\/p>\n

Got a couple more stores in the works, and I’m still continuing my 4-week project rewriting and marketing personal finance software.\u00a0 Time to get back to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
